Maker Faire: Celebration of geekdom

It’s been five years since the launch of Make, a magazine for DIYers that I described back then as a publication that hopes to tap the geeky ingenuity in all of us (as well as the inner MacGyver). This year’s Maker Faire in San Mateo seems to be further indication that it has most certainly accomplished that.

As hard as you might try, it would be difficult to squeeze in all of the fair’s exhibits and activities into one day (I was there with my kids for 7 hours, and we still didn’t do everything we wanted to, like the rocket launch and mentos fountain).

Here is a quick video of my visit on Saturday (the event ends today, May 23). It’s only a fraction of what was going on.
